摘要:
A service session resource manager (72) for use in a router (18) capable of routing a plurality of at least partially contemporaneous service sessions over a communications line is described which mediates between services competing for bandwidth. The service session manager (72) updates its internal state based on both mediation enabled (22b) and mediation non-enabled (22a) devices. The resource manager (72) comprises memory arranged to store a current resource utilisation indicator for a resource of said communications line, a service request processor arranged to process a new service session request from a client terminal to determine a required resource for said new service session over said communications line and to determine if the required resource is available in dependence on an available line rate and said current utilisation indicator, means to reserve the required resource, means to update said current utilisation indicator to indicate the allowed resource reservation; and means to respond to said requesting client that said resources have been reserved, wherein said current resource utilisation indicator is also updated by said service request processor to indicate a resource used by one or more service sessions established by one or more client terminals configured to send service requests over said communications line without requesting access to the service from said service session manager.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for managing resources in virtualization systems, including multi-cloud systems. The use of supply chain economics alone and in combination with other techniques offers a unified platform to integrate, optimize or improve, and automate resource management in a virtualization system. These techniques may be used to monitor and control the delivery of service level agreements and software licenses. They may also be used to monitor and control contention of computing resources in a virtualization system, and to suspend or terminate computing resources.

A system and method for effectively supporting content distribution in an electronic network includes a content server and a peer-to-peer network of client devices. The content server stores content items received from a content provider. A recommendation engine of the content server creates a global recommendation list to identify an optimal global candidate from among the stored content items for performing an automatic and transparent content download procedure. The recommendation engine creates the global recommendation list by analyzing selectable content-ranking criteria from a plurality of device users of the client devices. The content server then downloads the optimal global candidate from the stored content items to one or more identified target devices during the content download procedure.
摘要:
Multiple media devices (101-104) at different locations can advantageously synchronize shared content by including chronology information with each piece of content. Each media device maps received content pieces (102, 104) from other devices, along with content pieces (108, 110) on the device itself to a common time line (106). The mapped content, when displayed, will depict the earliest content earliest on the time line and the latest content piece appears latest on the time line.
摘要:
The inventive subject matter provides apparatus, systems, and methods of pre-loading (or caching) activatable content to several mobile devices for future use by at least one of the mobile devices. The mobile devices are communicatively coupled with each other to form a distribute storage network. The pre-loaded content can be used by applications executed in any one of the mobile devices within the network. A content server is configured to transmit portions of the content to the mobile devices upon detection that a subset of conditions within the multi-conditional content activation criteria has been satisfied. The content server is configured to transmit the entire content when all conditions within the multi-conditional content activation criteria has been satisfied. The content server then activates the content when a content activation event is detected.
